I wonder if my ex Chief Constable ever dropped in for a chat...

That's real Walting!

Excellent. I haven't used the sort of forums that would be used in years though. I must be mellowing. Or possibly growing up but that's unlikely - my internal age stopped rising decades ago.

I used to say it to the children when they got too cocky.

I see we've had over 1200 people looking in again today.

It's not people it's  just automed scripts. Been a long time since we had a fake signup.

[klondike]

What are the scripts doing? Trying to get control of the server for their own ends. The log has 988 of these errors which are just attempts to exploit vulnerabilities  in the forum software. That's why I keep it up to date.

Don't expect to make sense of this... its an attempt at command insertion

where are you seeing this Mups ?
Ok found it now never knew it was there

Partial eclipse of the sun tomorrow, on advice I bought some proper dark glasses for observing eclipses, apparently looking at the sun through a colander could strain your eyes

Ah,  but they showed you how to do this on the Weather tonight, Vladsy.

Turn your back to the sun,  hold the colander up so that the sun shines through it, and at the same time hold a sheet of blank white paper behind the colander and that way you will see it safely produced on the paper.
Not sure what to expect,  but I'm gonna try it anyway. 


*  If anyone is interested,  here is the expected timetable:

Depending on where you are planning to watch the eclipse from, the timing for the event varies slightly:

• London & South-East: The partial eclipse begins at 18:17 BST, reaches its maximum depth (about 90% coverage) at 19:13 BST, and concludes by 20:06 BST. [1]
• North-West England (Manchester/Liverpool): First contact begins at 18:13 BST, with the maximum eclipse hitting at 19:10 BST. [1]
• Scotland: The initial signs of the eclipse will be visible earliest, starting at roughly 18:08 BST.
